    Hi, I want a laptop that is fast (boots fast and can load and run many programmes at once without a sweat). I do not care for gaming or watching films; however, I would like a large screen that is pleasing on the eye. Excellent build quality is also a must. MS Office will be the prime...

    Some of you will notice that I've had a complete change of heart. I basically just want to know if its overkill having the Kingston 120gb ssd as well as any other comments. General usage such as Internet browsing, studying and listening to music simultaneously. Chassis & Display Enigma III...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Advantages of a 1080p screen?

    I'm going for a laptop for general use really. You know, just Internet browsing, studying, playing music etc (and preferably simultaneously). Now, Do I need 1080p for this sort of usage? What will 1080p resolution give me? (btw, I'll be purchasing a 15.6 screen if that helps) Thanks

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Question

    Might sound daft this question, I dont know. I'm about to pull the trigger on purchasing a pc with a gtx 570. When I go on YouTube and watch games that showcase the gtx 570 using youtubes 1080p setting and full screen, is this basically how it looks? When using 1080p in small screen (normal...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Quick question

    Got a desired spec that I am going to order very shortly; however, I cannot afford the gpu I was going to get (gtx 570).

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Intel 320 120gb

    Going for this as I don't really want to spend another 85 on the 510 intel 120 one. Anyone think the 320 will be ok or is it best to go for the 510 Read that there is 5 year warranty with the 320 as opposed to 3 with the 510

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST will my tv be ok or will it downgrade the comp?

    I'm looking at getting a pc with a gtx 570 to play with a samsung 40inch full 1080p hdtv. However, the tv refesh rate is 60hz as opposed to the newest 120hz tech. Will I be utilising the full potential still or will the 60hz not do the card justice

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST To overclock or not?

    Another question for me is whether I should get my build over-clocked? Many people said on here that it's pointless for gaming and that it can be detrimental to the life of your CPU. I will be mainly using the computer for studying, writing essays and gaming, so please someone put this to...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Get a 570 or wait for the next gen cards?

    I have a good build in mind but I'm not sure whether ill be needing to upgrade next year when the new cards come out. I'm not made of money so I'd hate to buy a great system now for it to be outclassed in less than a year lol I don't want a 580 as I feel a 570 is better value, but I'm just...

    Shall I go 80gb intel and 1tb caviar black or 120gb kingston and 500gb caviar black. Money is sort of a factor.
